    The Hainberg nature reserve is located on the Rednitz in the area of the towns of Oberasbach and Stein (district of Fürth) and a small part of the city of Nuremberg. The nature reserve, which is part of the Sandachse Franken nature conservation project, has existed since March 1, 1995 and is around 213 hectares in size. Its area was previously used as a training area for the US Army and the Bundeswehr's 270th Transport Battalion stationed in Nuremberg. 195 hectares of the area are therefore managed by the DBU Naturerbe as a natural heritage area.

      The Hainberg nature reserve is a habitat and refuge for many endangered plants and animals.

      The plants found here include the sand pink, heather pink, sand thyme, silver grass, mountain sandbell and early sedge oat. A special feature is the presence of Austrian mugwort, which is said to have been planted by Croatian soldiers as a wine spice during the Thirty Years' War; in 1632 the Hainberg was part of Wallenstein's camp near Zirndorf.

      The insect fauna of the Hainberg includes sand bees, the blue-winged grasshopper and the swallowtail butterfly. The amphibians include the natterjack toad and the spadefoot toad. Rare bird species found in the area include the golden oriole, the wheatear, the red-backed shrike, the whitethroat, the kingfisher, the tawny pipit and the woodlark.

        Lean sand areas under nature protection represent a biotope that is particularly worthy of protection
